Intro
I've been a restless,
for a long, long time
Tryin' to find a home
for this heart of mine
The nights are lonely,
and the days are long
Its hard to find a reason,
to carry on
But all this searchin',
is it ever gonna end?
Must I keep on losin',
again and again?
Tell me, how long can a man be strong?
How long must he carry on,
without the love of a woman,
to call his own?
Tell me, how long can a man be strong ?
Its on every mans mind,
to find that special girl
Some of them getta lucky
But I'm alone in this world
Still I know shes out there somewhere
so Im gonna keep on tryin
Someday Im gonna find her,
its just a matter of time
As long as Ive been waiting,
I know shes been waiting, too
Hold on a little longer baby,
Im on my way to you
Tell me, how long can a man be strong?
How long must he carry on,
without the love of a woman,
to call his own?
Tell me, how long can a man be strong ?
Won't Ya tell me,
How long can a man be strong?
Now ever since this world began,
it takes a woman to make a man
And I need someone!
Dont you know I need someone? Yeah!
Solo
Ooh but all this searchin,
is it ever gonna end?
Must I keep on losin,
again and again and again?
Tell me, how long can a man be strong?
How long must he carry on,
without the love of a woman,
to call his own?
Tell me, how long can a man be strong ? Yeah!
